Abstract
Notional accounts are designed to mimic
a defined contribution plan, where the pension depends on
contributions and investment returns. (For this reason, they
are sometimes called notional, defined-contribution
schemes). Pension contributions are tracked in accounts
which earn a rate of return. However, in notional accounts,
the return that contributions earn is a notional one, set by
the government, not the product of investment returns in the markets.
